Athena powers up for a dash. While dashing, Athena will pass through minions, stop and hit the first enemy god she encounters, dealing damage.

Basic Information

Athena is one of my personal favorite gods. Her powerful taunt can turn any losing situation into a winning situation. On top of having a global ult that lets you be wherever you want, when you want Defender of Olympus. Being able to move from one side of the map to another in just a few moments lets Athena have the advantage of running around the enemy jungle with her Jungler looking for more early fights in weird chokes. You are allowed to do this because once someone is threatened in lane, you are able to turn to them, and ult on top of them, providing the person being ulted with much needed protections. Most players will do their best to walk away from someone being Athena ulted as they do not want to take poke from you landing on them, and they do not want to be in range of you taunting once you've landed. Defender of Olympus

The only thing holding Athena back from being a top tier pick is her dash. Preemptive Strike She has a few seconds of channel time before she can dash. This was put into place so that Athena was not instantly dashing, and taunting enemies with Confound. However with your dash it is not all bad, if you dash into an enemy you will collect a block stack which will be displayed on your Athena passive shield. You can also tell you have a block stack by looking at your shield on the character, you will see a glow around this letting you know you have a stack. On top of collecting up to 3 block stacks, Athena will also slow all targets hit by 25%.
